The File Room

4.10 - Paper Hearts

Vince Gilligan uses a manipulative serial killer to distort central X Files canon, but does it work? Join Ed and Michaela as we discuss this and more, plus catch up on our indulgences or attempts to moderate.
Apologies for the rougher-than-usual audio in this episode.

4.9 - Terma

"Tunguska" left Mulder stranded in a gulag and asked 'how will he get out?' This episode replies 'Surprisingly easily.' Michaela and Ed discuss the ever-growing number of problems with the mythology, and the dangers of trying to set up the plot for a movie that isn't going to come out for two years.
Also, sorry that the audio is a little rough in this episode.

4.8 - Tunguska

Ed has a nice cup of tea, and we discuss the punchability of faces, the road to the X Files movie, and why black oil is so compelling.

4.7 - Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man

It's a fun one this week as The X-Files delves into the (possibly all false) back story of one of its most iconic and mysterious characters, while Michaela and Ed talk about the very notion and purpose of conspiracy theories.

4.6 - Sanguinarium

Ed and Michaela try to stomach this episode, have a disappointing revelation and even disagree... 

4.5 - The Field Where I Died

Mulder regresses through his past lives and Michaela and Ed struggle to stay awake.
Dreadlocked - As mentioned in the intro, here is the funny little "documentary" that Michaela and Ed made at university about Michaela getting her dreadlocks cut off for charity. (It's a bit slow for the first two minutes but then it gets silly.)

4.4 - Unruhe

The mechanics of mystery are picked over in this week's especially creepy episode, plus, at what point does Mulder's leaps become 'a bit much'? All this, plus Ed's 4th of July menu for your listening delectation. 

4.3 - Teliko

Michaela and Ed spend way too long talking about taxes at the start of this episode, which is a pretty good indicator of how exciting "Teliko" is.
